SAT Question of the Day

A tricky question that involves two levels of analysis! Putting "though" at the end of a sentence will actually cause the transition to occur between the sentence BEFORE it and the sentence itself. Ex., "He likes chocolate ice cream. I like vanilla, though. Sara likes strawberry ice cream." Notice in the above example that Sara's strawberry preference has nothing to do with the "though." As always, make sure to do your punctuation rules checks!

Understand how to evaluate “legality” when it comes to using commas and periods! The more grammar you know, the less you will have to rely on “sounding it out,” which may get you in trouble when it comes to the harder questions!

Answer is actually, perhaps shockingly, no punctuation at all! Don’t fall for the common mistake that you always need some sort of comma following a title before a name. It all comes down to whether the name is “essential” or “nonessential” to the sentence.
